"However, I have one more condition."
"What—conditions?" Teacher Yuanwu was very curious about what kind of harsh conditions Jiang Fan would propose.
That's right, the conditions must be extremely strict and demanding. Otherwise, someone as talented as Jiang Fan would have no reason to give up other elite martial arts schools and choose Yuanwu instead.
Jiang Fan said, "The condition is that I don't have to reveal my own destiny. As long as you agree, I will join the Yuanwu."
Upon hearing this, Teacher Yuanwu's face clearly showed a look of astonishment.
He had originally thought Jiang Fan would propose some incredibly difficult conditions, but it turned out to be just this.
Seeing that Teacher Yuanwu remained silent, Jiang Fan couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
I wondered if this Yuanwu teacher, like the teachers at other elite martial arts schools, would insist that I reveal the opportunity?
If that's the case, he'll probably have a hard time getting into the top five elite martial arts schools, since he can't reveal that he's Spirit Master.
Just as Jiang Fan was struggling with his problem, Teacher Yuanwu's laughter suddenly rang in his ears.
"Hahaha--"
Teacher Yuanwu laughed heartily and patted Jiang Fan on the shoulder.
"Okay, I agree to this condition."
He agreed? Jiang Fan was overjoyed.
"My name is Xing Wu, you can call me Teacher Xing. From now on, you will be my student, Yuanwu." Teacher Yuanwu made the final decision, and fearing that Jiang Fan might change his mind, he directly handed the admission notice to Jiang Fan.
"Come to the school to register on the appointed day. Or you can come back to Fortress No. 1 with me tomorrow. Didn't you want me to get your family members registered as residents of Fortress No. 1? It's a good opportunity to bring your family along."
Jiang Fan thought for a moment, hesitated for two seconds, and then said, " Teacher Xing, could you take my family to Fortress No. 1 first? As for me—I'd like to wait until the appointed time."
He didn't plan to leave now. Firstly, he could earn 3,000 points every day from the Crazy Old Man, which was no small amount.
He also wanted to use the time before school started to grind points in the Inner Wilderness Zone; he missed the Sharp-Toothed Golden-Armored Crocodile in the Death Swamp.
It wasn't just the Sharp-Toothed Golden-Armored Crocodile; there were other monstrous beasts as well.
He was relatively familiar with the Inner Wilderness Zone near Fortress No. 31, so he felt relatively safe there. He thought it was the best place to farm points.
Teacher Yuanwu was unaware of Jiang Fan's thoughts and did not press him for details.
He nodded. "Okay, have your family pack their things, and bring them to the train station to meet me tomorrow."
Jiang Fan took out his phone. "Let's add each other's contact information first."
"Um."
The others were stunned by Jiang Fan and Xing Wu's quick decision. By the time they reacted, Jiang Fan and Xing Wu had already exchanged contact information.
"Wait!" Zhou Yi was the first to react, stepping forward and standing between Jiang Fan and Xing Wu.
" Jiang Fan, what are you doing? That's Corpse Martial!"
"I know, you've told them this many times already," Jiang Fan replied.
"Knowing all this, you still dare to join Yuanwu? Yuanwu's new students are supposed to go to the Inner Wilderness Zone!"
"I know that too; you've emphasized it many times already."
"You—" Zhou Yi was taken aback by Jiang Fan's calm demeanor and didn't know what to say for a while, "And, and! Every three years, Yuanwu's senior students have to go to the Outer Wilderness Zone. You enrolled this year, so it just so happens that you'll also have to go to the Outer Wilderness Zone when you're a senior!"
Jiang Fan shook his head. "Oh, I didn't know that."
Hearing Jiang Fan's answer, Zhou Yi sensed a turning point and immediately seized it.
"So you need to think carefully, and definitely don't go to Yuanwu!"
"I've thought it over carefully, and I've decided to go to Yuanwu. After all, your condition for recruiting me is that you have to tell me about my opportunity, which I don't intend to do. Actually, telling others about that opportunity wouldn't be of any use to them," Jiang Fan said.
Zhou Yi pursed her red lips, feeling annoyed and regretful. She should have known better than to rush Jiang Fan to talk about the opportunity. She could have waited until he enrolled in school and then slowly coaxed information out of him.
At this moment, other martial arts school teachers rushed up.
" Jiang Fan, come to my Danwu. The conditions will remain the same, and you won't need to reveal any secrets."
Seeing that he was a step too late, Qingwu glared fiercely at Danwu's teacher, then said to Jiang Fan in a wolf-like tone, "The conditions can be doubled. You come to Qingwu, and you still don't have to reveal your secret. Moreover, your classmate Lan Shengxue has also joined Qingwu. You two can come together and keep each other company."
Teacher Longwu was also anxious. " Longwu Jiang Fan, they've said everything they needed to say. Our biggest advantage over them is that there's a Qi and Blood Raw Stone mine stretching for miles beneath the school. In other words, just by staying on campus and meditating, your cultivation speed will be slightly faster than that of ordinary people. Although you won't see anything in a day or two, over four years, the difference will be significant."
I haven't heard of Jiang Fan before. To be honest, anyone else would definitely be tempted, but his path of cultivation is different from others.
He had tried it before, and the Qi and Blood Raw Stone were basically useless; he still needed points.
So when he heard that Yuanwu's students needed to go to the Inner Wilderness Zone frequently, he was tempted. However, the Crazy Old Man repeatedly stopped him, and with the persuasion of others, if he insisted on going to Yuanwu, he probably wouldn't be able to find a particularly suitable reason.
After all, as Zhou Yi and the others said, he became the top scorer in the martial arts exam with the strength of Late-Stage First-Rank Martial Artist, but he chose Yuanwu, the least likely school to be chosen. They either thought he was crazy or that he had ulterior motives.
But now, thanks to the intervention of Zhou Yi and others, he was able to enter Yuanwu without any problems.
Just as Jiang Fan was thinking this, Xing Wu looked at Jiang Fan with a complicated expression.
"Although I very much hope you can join Yuanwu, I think you should reconsider. Jiang Fan, listen, this is your last chance, your last chance to change your mind."
Xing Wu's words relieved Zhou Yi and the others. After all, it would be a great loss for their school to miss out on such an outstanding talent as Jiang Fan.
However--
Jiang Fan shook his head, looking at Xing Wu with a serious expression.
"As Martial Artist, one should be true to one's word. Now that I have chosen Yuanwu Martial Arts path, I must see it through to the end. Conversely, if I break my promises and change my mind constantly, one day my Martial Artist spirit will waver. Martial Artist's spirit is like a stabilizing pillar on the path of cultivation, absolutely unshakable! I believe you understand this better than I do!"
Indeed, what Jiang Fan said was perfectly clear to his teachers, who were all veteran Martial Artist.
Zhou Yi grew increasingly anxious. " Jiang Fan, things aren't as serious as you make them out to be. After all, this is a crucial moment in your life, requiring careful consideration. It's not about breaking your promise or changing your mind overnight, so I hope you'll think things through carefully—"
